Compared to last week: Slaughter steers, heifers and Holsteins to few to make a meaningful comparison.

CME Live Cattle down while corn continues to climb higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.
Traditional slaughter weight sheep to few to make a meaningful comparison. Slaughter ewes to few to make a meaningful comparison. Very light auction due to cold and snow on Tuesday.
